"There are many reasons to join
a Board...from gaining valuable professional development as you
progress in your career to staying active and engaged in business once
you retire. One way to get involved in Board Service is to first
summarize your unique qualifications in a brief one paragraph Bio. Then,
identify companies that you believe could benefit from your
skills/experience. And then start NETWORKING with Board Director
Recruiters and at Board Director Events and everything in between to get
your name out there linked to your ability to fulfill a relevant need
on those target company Boards. Importantly meet with Directors who are
like you in their skills/experience who now serve on their fill of
boards. They are the ones getting the recruiter calls now. Ask them to
give those recruiters YOUR name and Bio the next time they call." - Mary Kay Haben (Member of The Chicago Network since 1998)

Designed and powered by the Kellogg Center for Executive Women, this course serves as both a boot-camp and gateway for women who aspire to serve on boards as well as those looking to expand their range of directorship opportunities.
